I will forever associate the term The Gauntlet with the Clint Eastwood movie of that name, from 1977.Pretty good movie too (and I'm a movie hater). It put Wickenburg, Arizona on the map too, at least for me.

I told my wife that I was going to have "a tiny bit" of my son's special mango sorbet. Afterwards I was accused of willful misrepresentation, and I was informed that I had in fact taken "a whole regular bowl." But it was too late; I had already started eating.
